Lemurs are primates with big eyes and long and soft tails. They are also in decline and are considered endangered. Why? Because people in urban areas in Madagascar consider their meat a delicacy that promotes health.
37 percent of shark and ray species are also threatened with extinction. Why? Because people kill them for their fins, their meat, and their liver oil.
You know what? I don’t care if people in Ohio really do eat the cats and the dogs. We have too damn many cats and dogs in any case. If you want to get concerned, get concerned about people eating octopuses and shark fin soup. Quit eating veal with its pens to keep calves from exercising. Quit eating pigs that are slaughtered by bleeding them to death. Quit eating eggs from caged chickens that never get to walk around. Quit eating beef fed antibiotics on feedlots.
I am not a vegetarian, although I am moving in that direction. If you do eat meat, buy your meat from local butchers who raise their own animals. Know what you eat.
